@seand.me.uk it’s likely to be every day from this weekend through to next weekend 😩

@SwellWines such a beautiful dog. We are so lucky to have them in our lives - they enrich it greatly. 💔

@SwellWines beautiful

@marksquires I love Soalheiro wines - the Granit is fabulous

@shezza_t @seanddotmedotuk @nivrig the quality of their chicken was awful 🤢

@seanddotmedotuk @dalekmad kill me now 🤦🏻‍♀️

If humans were the result of intelligent design, we'd be able to detach our arms when we go to bed. They just get in the way. It's like sharing the bed with two insomniac geese.

@shezza_t I hear you

@shezza_t how does that ever happen? It’s embarrassing how I always end up over-buying as I always forget what’s in the overflow

@shezza_t yes, Joery Castel does them fairly regularly.

Beautiful morning for #walkies at #billyneills

Dinner al fresco - my lame photography doesn’t do justice to how tasty it was - all the hard work was done by @joerycastel
Tonight’s menu:
Green pea and goats cheese arancini
Cream of asparagus soup (not pictured)
Filet mignon, layered potatoes, squash puree & greens
Chocolate millefeuille
All washed down with a fabulous Mullineux 2015 Syrah ☺️

I had a craving for a roast chicken dinner, so rustled up a roast chook with tarragon & mustard gravy, roast potatoes, simple onion stuffing and garlicky green beans 😍.
For me, there’s only ever one choice of wine to accompany roast chicken, White Burgundy, and this 2014 Saint Aubin from the brilliant Le Grappin was a perfect match. A great example which showcases how good 2014 was for whites. Happy Sunday ☺️

Beautiful morning for walkies at Whiterocks 😎☀️🌊🐶🐶

@marksquires I agree. They seem to have hit the sweet spot with me in terms of flavour, texture and balance.

@marksquires that’s my favourite Assyrtiko. Absolutely adore it. Bravo

Getting older needs a handbook.

Like, my body really does not move and recover the way it used to. I never noticed that my gait is all effed up. I never paid attention to my hips and back (outside of shenanigans). I never worried before about mobility and about how to keep it...mobile.

Youth enables ableism. You just think everything is going to work the way it always worked.

But getting older ...oof. If the body is a temple, this temple needs some assistance. The roof is leaking, the gutters are clogged, the doors are hanging wrong, and the hinges are all squeaking.

It's a paradigm shift.

@Spanglor it’s been a much-needed break, following a nasty bout of covid then chest infection.
